Life and career
1992–2002: Early life and career beginnings
Destiny Hope Cyrus was born November 23, 1992, in Franklin, Tennessee, to Leticia Jean “Tish” Cyrus (née Finley) and singer Billy Ray Cyrus.
Miley Cyrus was born with supraventricular tachycardia, a condition which causes an abnormal resting heart rate.
Her birth name, Destiny Hope, reflects her parents’ belief that she would accomplish great things, and she was given the nickname “Smiley”, later shortened to “Miley”, because she often smiled as an infant.
She changed her name to Miley Ray Cyrus; her middle name honors her grandfather, Democratic politician Ronald Ray Cyrus.

Against the advice of her father’s record company, Miley Cyrus’s parents secretly married on December 28, 1993, a year after her birth.
They had two more children together, son Braison and daughter Noah.
From previous relationships, her mother has two other children, Trace and Brandi, while her father has a son named Christopher, who grew up with his mother, Kristin Luckey, in South Carolina.
Four of her siblings eventually entered the entertainment business: Trace as a vocalist and guitarist for the electronic pop band Metro Station, Noah as an actress, Braison as a fashion model, and Brandi as a journalist.
Cyrus’s godmother is entertainer Dolly Parton.

Miley Cyrus grew up on a 500-acre (200 ha) farm in Franklin,[14] and attended Heritage Elementary School.
While working on Hannah Montana, she enrolled at Options for Youth Charter Schools and studied with a private tutor on set.
Raised a Christian, she was baptized in a Southern Baptist church before moving to Hollywood in 2005.
She attended church regularly while growing up and wore a purity ring.
In 2001, when Cyrus was eight, she and her family moved to Toronto, Canada while her father filmed the television series Doc.
After Billy Ray took her to see a 2001 Mirvish production of Mamma Mia at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Cyrus grabbed his arm and told him, “This is what I want to do, daddy. I want to be an actress.”
She began taking singing and acting classes at the Armstrong Acting Studio in Toronto.

In her first role, Miley Cyrus played a girl named Kylie in the television series Doc.
In 2003, Cyrus was credited under her birth name for her role as “Young Ruthie” in Tim Burton’s Big Fish.
During this period she auditioned with Taylor Lautner for the feature film The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D, and although she was one of two actresses remaining, she started doing Hannah Montana instead.
Tish Cyrus became Miley’s manager, and worked to acquire a team to help her career flourish.
Cyrus signed with Mitchell Gossett, director of the youth division at Cunningham Escott Slevin Doherty.
Gossett is often credited with “discovering” Cyrus, and played a key role in her auditioning for Hannah Montana.
She later signed with Jason Morey of Morey Management Group to handle her music career, having been directed to him by Dolly Parton.
Billy Ray’s finance manager was hired as well.

2003–2009: Breakthrough with Hannah Montana and early musical releases
Miley Cyrus auditioned for the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana when she was eleven years old.
She auditioned for the role of the title character’s best friend, but was called to audition for the lead role instead.
Despite being denied the part at first because she was too “young and small” for the role, she was selected later as the lead because of her singing and acting abilities.
The series premiered in March 2006 to the largest audience for a Disney Channel program, and quickly ranked among the highest-rated series on basic cable.
The instant success of the series led to Cyrus being labeled a “teen idol”.
She toured with The Cheetah Girls as Hannah Montana in September 2006, performing songs from the show’s first season.
Walt Disney Records released a soundtrack credited to Cyrus’ character in October of that year.[35] The record was a commercial success, topping the Billboard 200 chart in the United States; it went on to sell over three million copies worldwide.
With the release of the soundtrack, Cyrus became the first act within The Walt Disney Company to have deals in television, film, consumer products, and music.
She had a two-year relationship with actor Tyler Posey.
Cyrus has stated that she dated singer and actor Nick Jonas from June 2006 to December 2007, claiming they were “in love” and began dating soon after they first met.

Miley Cyrus signed a four-album recording contract with Hollywood Records to distribute her non-Hannah Montana soundtrack music.
She released the two-disc album Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus in June 2007.

The album became her second to reach the top of the Billboard 200, and has sold over three million copies since its release.
Months after the release of the project, “See You Again” (2007) was released as the lead single from the album.
The song was a commercial success, and has sold over two million copies in the United States since its release.
She then collaborated with her father on the single “Ready, Set, Don’t Go” (2007).
Cyrus embarked on her highly successful Best of Both Worlds Tour (2007–08) to promote its release.
Ticketmaster officials commented that “there [hadn’t] been a demand of this level or intensity since The Beatles or Elvis”.[50] The tour’s success led to the theatrical release of the 3D concert film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008).
While initially intended to be a limited release, the film’s success led to a longer run.

Miley Cyrus and friend Mandy Jiroux began posting videos on the popular website YouTube in February 2008, referring to the clips as “The Miley and Mandy Show”; the videos garnered a large online following.
In April 2008, several images of Cyrus in her underwear and swimsuit were leaked by a teenage hacker who accessed her Gmail account.
Further controversy arose when it was reported that Cyrus, then fifteen, had posed topless during a photo shoot with Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair.
The New York Times later clarified that although the pictures left the impression that she was bare-breasted, Cyrus was wrapped in a bed sheet and was not topless.

Miley Cyrus went on to release her second studio album, Breakout (2008), in June of that year.
The album boasted the highest first week sales of her career thus far, and became her third to top the Billboard 200.

She released her fourth soundtrack as “Hannah Montana” in July 2009, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200.
Cyrus later launched her first fashion line, Miley Cyrus and Max Azria, through Walmart.
It was promoted by the release of “Party in the U.S.A.” (2009) and the EP The Time of Our Lives (2009).
Cyrus said the album was “a transitioning album really to introduce people to what I want my next record to sound like and with time I will be able to do that a little more”.
“Party in the U.S.A.” went on to become one of Cyrus’ most successful singles to date, and is considered one of her signature songs.
She next embarked on her first world tour, the Wonder World Tour (2009), which was a critical and commercial success.

Cyrus further attempted to change her image with the release of her third studio album, Can’t Be Tamed (2010).
The album featured a more dance-oriented sound than her prior releases, and caused a considerable amount of controversy because of its lyrical content and Cyrus’ live performances.
It sold 106,000 copies in its first week of release, and became her first studio album not to top the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.
Due to the controversy surrounding the release, the album’s second, and final single, “Who Owns My Heart” was released solely in select European territories.
